Changes to Services from 1st May 2005

From Sunday 1st May 2005 we are making a variety of changes to our bus network across the City.
A number of the changes are in response to your requests and suggestions, whilst others will help to improve reliability on our main routes and concentrate resources where they are needed most.
Full details can be found below, but here is a summary of the main points:

* 4A replaced by more journeys on the 3 & 4 circular and the 4B.
* Route changes to the 7 & 8 around Lawside.
* Extra buses on the 15 & 17, 28 & 29 and 32 & 33 to improve reliability.
* A new loop around Douglas for the 28 & 29.
* 31 withdrawn, but the 36 & 37 route will now include Asda at Milton, the Milton of Craigie Retail Park, Kingsway Retail Park and Hawkhill.
